War Hero

Despite living in the Spanish Sticks, they some how manage to put on a pretty good airshow every year. Put your sound on - it is LOUD!

PS Later on I was sitting on our terrace, looked up and this thing was coming straight towards my front door! It then banked over and hit the after-burners! The dogs went completely bat-shit crazy! Obviously my phone/camera was indoors - pity.

That’s “snaky Blakey”. A strange design ( hybrid ) and a wide beam vs her length led to a strange corkscrew motion at sea and a snaking wake.
And a complete misfit of a ship. Propulsion nightmare for one thing.
Chief Pilot of BAe Dunsfold did that trial.
Better than Soapy’s effort...eh, Pontius. ?

I did quite a few 899 dets to Wittering with Suds, the T Bird civvies used to take a Pinky Sup to "Pinky" and FSI for them. Surprising how many crabs asked me, "Is that the pilot that landed on that container ship?"
